It is not okay to only replace two front tires with winter tires. Causes insufficient rear tire grip: Installing winter tires only on the front wheels will result in insufficient grip for the rear tires. When driving on winter roads, this can easily lead to oversteering or brake shudder. Causes insufficient front tire grip: Installing winter tires only on the rear wheels will result in insufficient grip for the front tires, and the vehicle is prone to steering issues when driving on winter roads. It is recommended to replace all four tires with winter tires. Note that winter tires on the same axle must be of the same specification, brand, structure, and tread pattern.

What to Do When the Clutch Pedal Feels Heavy?

The solutions for a heavy clutch pedal are: 1. If the clutch transmission mechanism lacks lubrication, simply add lubricating oil; 2. If the release bearing is damaged, replace it promptly; 3. For a hydraulically operated clutch pedal, check if the hydraulic fluid is deteriorated or insufficient, and add it in time if necessary. The clutch is located in the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. The clutch assembly is secured to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws, and the output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the transmission. During driving, the driver can press or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily disconnect or gradually engage the engine and the transmission, thereby cutting off or transmitting the power from the engine to the transmission.

What Causes the Front Wheels to Make a Thumping Noise on Rough Roads?

The reasons for the front wheels making a thumping noise on rough roads are: 1. Damage to components such as the front control arm, front shock absorber, stabilizer bar bushings, or lower control arm; 2. The buffer rubber of the front wheel shock absorber has aged and hardened. This situation is normal, and the aged buffer rubber of the front shock absorber can be replaced. Rubber products will harden over time due to aging, and once hardened, they may produce abnormal noises when compressed. The connection points between the shock absorber and the vehicle body usually have buffer rubber. This buffer rubber not only protects the vehicle body but also enhances driving comfort. Various components of the car's chassis are typically connected with rubber bushings. Once these bushings age, they can affect the vehicle's handling, so it is essential to replace them promptly when they deteriorate.

Where is the handbrake of an automatic car?

The position of the handbrake in an automatic car varies depending on the car series, model, and design: the mechanical handbrake is located next to the gear lever; the electronic handbrake is also next to the gear lever, appearing as a button with a circle and the letter P inside; the foot-operated handbrake is located to the left of the brake pedal. An automatic car typically refers to a vehicle with an automatic gear-shifting mechanism, where the control system of the automatic transmission selects the appropriate gear based on the engine's speed and load, replacing the driver's subjective judgment and manual gear-shifting operation. Generally, automatic cars have six gear positions, from top to bottom: P, R, N, D, S, L.
